    I've been trying to find the highest recorded time for an open wheel car, and really can't find a definate MPH. Does anyone know? Doesn't matter if it was a tanker, lakester, coupe, roadster, I'm just looking for something that was open wheel. If anyone knows or knows where to look that would be great. Thanks guys!

    Probably the Bonneville Nationals record 366.586 m.p.h. by Dannenfelzer driving DRM Racing Blown Fuel < 500ci lakester.
     
  3. Yup...that's the one I found. Hard to think there is anything, anywhere faster with the wheels hangin' out in the air.

    Don't forget that Fred's down run on that record was 386!, A flat tire on the second pass brought the average down to 366.
